NEW YORK—The rise of anti-Semitic acts of violence—the most recent being the stabbing of five at a rabbi’s home—is a “disease” that has spread based on an “intolerance for difference” according to a senior rabbi, who also cast some of the blame on new bail reform laws.
Since Dec. 8, there have been 13 anti-Semitic acts of violence, including the latest, the Dec. 28 attack that occurred in the Orthodox Jewish community of Monsey, New York, during Hanukkah.
